Tobin Talk: February 20, 2020

Greetings Neighbors,

Its going to be another exciting year in Tobin Hill and I’m looking forward to building on the excellent work of our outgoing President Cody Doege who dedicated countless hours to making sure our neighborhood was well informed, well represented, and well fed on tamales at the Christmas party.

I hope this year we continue to grow and welcome new neighbors while creating opportunities for increased engagement and participation across the membership. Whether it’s serving on a committee, hosting a social, or helping out with Tobin de Mayo, I hope you “Find Your Kind” with us this year-and if you need help connecting please reach out to me or any of the board members and we’d be happy to help you get plugged in.

A strong neighborhood association helps us protect the history of our neighborhood and extend the hospitality that makes this a place worth calling home. We can’t do it without you, so please look for opportunities to join in and bring a neighbor!

Respectfully,
Larkin O’Hern
THCA President
